Default Fiesta RS turbo bought!

Picked it up yesterday.

Donny Murdo's red FRST. Lovely little car but I forgot how much of pig FRST's are to drive after being used to the Focus

Off to get some mudflaps today from Ford

Stuck her in for an MOT at Ford and she passed straight through

Crap pic but there's loads on the cars for sale section. Just taken before. 46,000 miles on the clock.

No she's staying bog standard, just like when it was made. The other owners have done all the hard work though!

Cheers Ram.

50 quid standard charge for the MOT, but she was checked out thoroughly which is what I wanted.

Changed the oil and water today, still got lumpy running, so changing the coil tomorrow and getting her set up on a tuner, then she'll be all sorted ready for hibernation lol

No mate has a Scorpion unfortunately, I'm not bothered about it having an SS exhaust it's just a shame it's a Scorpion, I've refused to use them since 1996 I hate the company with a passion but it's on so I might as well leave it now

Thanks for the kind comments. She still needs a bit of work to get her bang on.

Passengers side sill will need replacing soon and the dreaded filler cap starting to go, under the rear arch kit is starting to go and the back panel needs a bit tidy up. So I'll wait til the Summer til that gets tackled.

Mk 3 fiestas aren't the best on the rust front. Having said that, it's 17 year old like! I keep thinking H reg cars are new
